Adventures In Las Vegas

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I went to Las Vegas for a getaway... I would highly recommend it for anyone.

I love going there. The shows, the food, and the venues are all great.

We were only there for a few days but it was really cool.

We saw Cher in concert (I've had a crush on her since I was a little boy). We were the youngest in attendance at the show ...hahaha... But I loved every second of it. She's an incredible performer.

She sang a number of hits that have received airplay over the last 45 years. And...for a 63 year old ...she was wearing outfits that looked really good... if you know what I mean.

Enough said.

We also saw Criss Angel's "Believe" show at the Luxor. Dude gives his all to the audience. His illusions are world class and he genuinely loves to do his thing. In between magic tricks he opened up to the audience about his family, his personal life, and many other things. It was very engaging...almost like he was trying to purge some sort of emotional carthasis. I really dig his Mindfreak show too.

There is a party atomosphere in Sin City and yet it is simultaneously family friendly. It's not uncommon to see all kinds of characters and celebrities walking about too. While my wife and I were having lunch at Caesar's Palace, Sarah Silverman walked by and nodded hello as she ordered a salad and sat down at the table beside us.

Her stand up is pretty irreverant and risque. She is a very talented comedian and truly makes me laugh.

She was very gracious and down to earth when we asked for a photograph. Pretty cool person.

Vacations and getaways are good for the soul.

Even in Sin City.
